Darumaya in Ikebukuro lists six IKEBUKURO Brewing beers
Darumaya Records & Craft Beer in Ikebukuro is serving IKEBUKURO Brewing’s original-label daruma beers. The lineup includes six cans in red, white, yellow, pink, gold, and orange, making it easy to compare styles in one stop.
Hop BroI found a spot in Ikebukuro worth talking about: Darumaya Record & Craft Beer has six Daruma beers lined up.
MugiWait, what? Records and beer in the same shop? My ears and throat are both getting booked.
Hop BroEven better, the labels are under IKEBUKURO Brewing, but the actual brewing is done by Vector Brewing in Asakusabashi. You get red, white, yellow, pink, gold, and orange in a six-color lineup.
MugiWhoa! But Pale Ale, Weizen, and Pink IPA already sound like a style pop quiz.
Hop BroThat is the fun part. A Weizen is softer from wheat malt, while a Hazy IPA feels cloudy and juicy with the hop aroma pushed forward.
MugiNo way! When I hear hazy, I picture blurry eyesight, but you mean fruity and soft, right?
Hop BroExactly. If you want something easygoing, go for WHITE Weizen or YELLO Wheat Pale Ale. If you want hop impact, GOLD Hazy IPA or ORANGE Hazy IPA is the move. And GOLD hits 7.5%.
MugiOkay, white and yellow feel like a daytime stroll, while gold and orange feel like a night quest. Even PINK Pink IPA is illegally cute-sounding.
Hop BroPink has the visual fun, and RED Pale Ale should bring that classic balance. The real strength here is that the whole set makes a proper tasting flight.
MugiAnd doing that while browsing records means it is basically a jam session for your senses.
Hop BroFor slow drinking in Ikebukuro, this feels memorable. A place where music media and craft beer coexist gives you a pour that fits the shop.
MugiI am sold. I want to start with white or yellow, then finish with gold. I want that tasting run right now!
